been subjected to greater violence, probably also to attempts at removal. Indeed we know through SQUIER, that such has been the case. Some statues had been transported to Granada before his visit, and SQUIER himself sent some to Washington. α Pl. 21 and 22. It has been before figured by SQUIER, l. c., vol. ii., in the plate facing p. 54, fig. 2, and described pp. 53, 54, and 58. In SQUIER’s list it has the no. 2. BANCROFT has mentioned it in «The Native Races of the Pacific shores of North America», vol. iv., p. 41, with a copy of SQUIER’s figure p. 42, fig. 3. It was a male figure, sitting on the ground, with the knees drawn high up, and the head bent forwards. On the back of the head and the neck, there rested a solid mass of stone, gradually passing into the outlines of the neck and the back. This mass tapered upwards, and seemed to have passed into a pyramidical tenon, which, however, was broken off. The face was broad, with rounded retiring forehead, the nose long and straight. The eyes were formed by circular cavities; the mouth was half-open; the ears were large and prominent. By the shape of the face, the figure recalled the image Q from _Punta del Sapote_. The neck was much too thick to be a human neck. The chest was only little elaborated, the shoulders much raised, the arms well cut, the left hand pressed against the left foot, the right one drawn back somewhat more. The legs were well molded, like the arms; the knees drawn up nearly to the chin. The back was round-cut. The pedestal was carefully hewn, forming a square pillar of considerable height, tapering downwards. Its uppermost portion, on which the figure was seated, formed a kind of _round_ capital, ornamented on the side by a triple engraved angular wreath. The height of the statue from the crown of the head to the upper margin of the pedestal was 80 cm.; the length of the face was 34 cm., its breadth 25 cm. The breadth across the shoulders was 44 cm. The statue has probably stood insulated. It was entire, lying south-west of the stone-mound I, nearest to the shore of the Bahia (except the figure γ) and had probably been the object of endeavours to remove it. β Pl. 23. It is figured by SQUIER, l. c., in the plate facing p. 65, and described pp. 64 and 65. BANCROFT, l. c., p. 40, fig. 2.
